IN FAVOR OF LIBRARY. Citizens of Klngstree Express Themselves by Vote of 50 to 14. The election held here Tuesday or the question of providing a site for and maintaining a public library for Kingstree resulted in a majority of 36 votes in favor of the proposition. Mr Andrew Carnegie, the steel king and philanthropist, proposed to give $6,000 to the town of Kingstree for the erection and equipment of a public library, provided the town would supply a site and guarantee the sum of $600 a year to pay the running expenses. A petition * i- _ 1.1 was circulated among the ireenoiuers of the town calling for an election on the question. Enough signatures were secured and the election was ordered to he held Tuesday, June 22. There were 64 votes cast: 50 for and 14 against the payment of $?00 annually out of the town treasury for the maintenance of the library. His Wife Evidently Knew Him. * Just before the last regular session of the Legislature adjourned, a certain east Texas member is said to have received from his wife the following poem: "Husband, dear husband,come home to me now, I'm sniffing the odor of spring; You've stayed long enough in the eapitol there, 1 ?' m<> ii'innr lou re mucn saiei uuuci mj The old horse is pawing the stable like mad, The colt's in a terrible stew; The small brindle heifer has got a ts. \ white calf, And the cattle are bawling for you.

They say there is [desperate flirting up there, With widows and maids not a few; I haven't been kissod since the morning you left, v But, dearie, how is it with you?" During the recent special session the member showed the poem -to a brother member and permitted him to take a copy of it for State Topics, but with the distinct understanding that no names were to be mentioned. The member also expressed the opinion that if the poem got in type it might serve a good purpose for the wives of other members in Legislatures yet to be held.?State Topics.

Wonderful Result: ;| able Returns in Money After years of intelligent toil, when i P J A Berckmans of Augusta, Ga, was i gathered to his fathers, he left behind him an enviable reputation as a most useful citizen, as a noted horticulturist, a great nursery business, and three sons to carry on the work he had inaugurated?a business which had its customers in every civilized land, for the Berckmans nursery products were above all reliable and just what the firm declari ed them to be. There was no guess I work about anything they sold. They knew the possibilities and the limita' tions of every tree, shrub or plant that went forth from their establishment. The busin?ss started by the revered P J A Berckmans has far outgrown the business left by him. In addition, the! activities of the sons have caused them j ,to branch out in several other direct-j ions, and among their ventures is a I fifteen hundred acre farm at Mayfield, half of which is given over to neach orchards and the other half to general farming. This farm, "The Oaks," located at j Mayfield in Hancock county, Ga, is being brought up to high productiveness through the application of the underlying principles of the maintenance of soil fertility, and a record oat crop grown this year on sandy land under drought conditions has pointed so conclusively tc the money value of the inoculation of legumes that this year the Berckmans Brothers ar^ using more than 300 acres of inoculating material on cow peas alone.

Some years ago we-tfegan testing out commercial bacterial cultures for the inoculation of hairy vetch, planted along with oats, and some of them proved decidedly successful, while the hay was easily the best ever fed upon our place. This test was made on the orchard section of The Oaks, and it was observed by all that thetnules on that part of the plantation were in finer condition than on the farm section, where mixed grain and forage were fed. Crops grew better after the inoculated vetch, showing the increase in nitrates and the general improvement of the soil. "In the summer of 1914, the representative of the Earp-Thomas Farmogerm Company called on us and satisfied us that the inoculation of cow peas would be profitable. The representative told us of people we knew who had got as much as 100 per cent increase in their oats and other crops after cow peas inoculated with his culture. No claim that we would get "Imli 809 U EDMOND A. FELDER, Man III Tl 1 I uwana ineaire.

The result? We har vested Itiree times as many oats from the land that had been in< oculated for cow peas as we did where the cow peas were grown without inoculation.The eTect was marvelous.

"We have demonstrated that our soils need organic matter and nitrogen anc fully appreciate the benefit of the inoc ulation of cow peas with FARMOGERM, as well as vetch, on poor soils. You should have seen the unpromising character of the soil where we used thf FARMOGERM to understand fully the difference in the two crops. This fielc we are planning to lime and thus realize the fullest benefit from the inoculation.
